Real Madrid defender Ramos wants to be 'new Makelele'
Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 09/22/2009 - 07:27
Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos admits he sees his future as a defensive midfielder.
Ramos wants to be the 'new Claude Makelele' at Real and explained: "I'm improving. I practice playing there a lot in training, but I'm not (David) Beckham.
"And I've played there in the past. Both Lopez Caro and Luxemburgo played me there. The truth is that I like playing the pivot. You tackle, you pass, you're more involved.
"This position also lets you get up and help the forwards."

Wrongly translated... the quote about Becks is related to passing. The defensive part was related to what other field position he enjoys.
umm well can def see him as a center back but as long as lass stays i dont think he will strt as a defensive midfeild.....
when the hell did beckham ever play defensive midfielder? he can't run and he can't tackle, the two most important attributes of a defensive midfielder.
